Gastric/Stomach Bypass Surgery in Turkey – Roux-en-Y Weight Loss Surgery
Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass surgery (RYGB) known as gastric bypass or stomach bypass surgery is one of the most effective weight loss surgeries. It has been used for years to treat obesity or Type 2 Diabetes successfully. Let’s discover together a safe weight loss surgery available in Turkey by Doctor Ersoy Taspinar.
What is Gastric Bypass (Stomach Bypass) Surgery?
Stomach Bypass surgery is performed using laparoscopic methods, resulting in fewer complications and a faster recovery period. A volume of 15-30 ml segment of the stomach is left in the upper stomach during Gastric Bypass. The rest of the stomach is prevented to intake any food. Therefore, food passes directly to a part of the small intestine, specifically the Roux limb of the jejunum.
The small intestine is cut at the 75th centimeter. The surgeon then connects the bottom end to the new stomach and the top end to an ideal point on the small intestine. This keeps the bile flow, extending the small intestine by approximately 100–150 centimeters. Food passes through the smaller new stomach directly into the small intestine, allowing patients to feel full faster and consume less food. Gastric Bypass surgery also partially changes the digestive process to support weight loss. Stomach Bypass surgery is one of the most popular surgeries in Turkey, performed by the Dr. Ersoy Taspinar, who is specializes in obesity treatment and various weight loss surgeries.
Weight Loss with Gastric Bypass Surgery
There are two methods of gastric bypass surgery: the Roux-en-Y (RNY) gastric bypass method and the mini gastric bypass method. The RNY gastric bypass method’s criteria are the same as other obesity treatment criteria. The RNY gastric bypass method is more appropriate for patients who prefer drinks like milkshakes, hot chocolate, and sweets. The RNY stomach bypass method uses laparoscopic surgery with five to six incisions on the abdomen and removes part of the stomach, leaving only 50 to 60 ml of it. You can find information about the mini gastric bypass procedure here.
Benefits and Advantages of Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass Surgery

- Treats Type 2 Diabetes: Stomach Bypass Surgery allows patients with type 2 diabetes to control their blood sugar levels. In some cases, it can even cure diabetes.
